Spicy Peanut Soba Noodles with Veggies
Yum. Couldn’t stop eating this. Jack’s lucky I have some semblance of self control because he got a [small] bowl when he came over last night. I absolutely LOVE buckwheat noodles and every time I make them I wonder why I don’t do it more often. They are terrific for you as well, lots of iron, fibre and protein. Aaaaand we all know the divine nature of peanut sauce so I don’t think I need to go into that too much. It’s freaking heavenly. The recipe calls for cilantro but I accidentally grabbed parsley. I DO KNOW how to tell the difference between them but all I saw in the grocery store was a bunch of leafy greens, and a sign that said “organic cilantro parsley” and “sale” so it was an automatic response to throw the cilantro parsley in my bag. I like the shredded carrots in here too, they add a juicy, sweet crunch.
This recipe is from my girl Kathy’s new cookbook, Healthy Happy Vegan Kitchen. Kathy is also the founder of findingvegan.com which is like the ultimate source for all delicious vegan recipes, it inspired when I first started blogging. I think she is one of the most gorgeous women I have seen (check out her YouTube for adorable recipe videos) and she seems to be a wizard at making healthy vegan comfort food. Her new cookbook is full of hearty, wholesome, vegan noodle bowls, sandwiches, burgers, soups, wraps and other stuff you want in your mouth.

3 to 4 tablespoons peanut butter, softened

1 cup thinly sliced carrots
2 teaspoons hemp or sesame seeds (optional)
1⁄4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Note: Add more or less non-dairy milk depending on how thick you like your sauce. Adding more will thin out the consistency.

the noodles under cold water. For chilled noodles, transfer the noodles to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. Otherwise, cover the noodles to keep warm.
